------------------ ARTICLE START ------------------
Taxco was built up in the mountains of Sierra Madre Occidental (which runs all
along the Pacific coast of Mexico) in the state of Guerrero. Famous Acapulco is
located in this same state, but about four hours southwest of Taxco, right in
the Pacific coast.
Acapulco is famous for its beaches and exciting night life, but it does not
have the charm of Taxco, which is located two and a half hours from Mexico City
and an hour and a half from the city of Cuernavaca, (state of Morelos) which
also has well preserved colonial buildings worth visiting, but does not have
the spirit of an old Spanish town, nor the uniqueness of being the
International Capital of Silver Art and Jewelry.
In Taxco, most of the population makes its living by either designing,
manufacturing or selling all kinds of sterling silver art objects, which go
from a simple pair of silver stud earrings to give a little girl, to a superb
silver and fine set with semi-precious stones, composed of necklace, bracelet
and earrings, suited for a Royal Princess or at least a top fashion model!
These silversmiths are the second or even third generation, having grown up in
the silver workshops, helping their father with all the tasks they were asked
or made to do. Sand, buffer, cut, solder, etc. they've been doing it their
whole life. Some specialize in a particular kind of silver piece, others in
many, but they all know how to do most kinds.
Most of these workshops are in the silversmiths' homes, so the tourist doesn't
get a chance to see them, but some silver stores have set up their own workshop
in a corner of the store to show the visitor how some of it is done.
In Taxco you can find from the smallest silver jewelry piece in the world to a
magnificent silver statue or silver figurine, perfect to be presented as a fine
gift to an executive, as well as a silver wedding gift or just to make the
difference and stand apart from all the rest for the magnificence of your
choice.
These silver statues, by the way, are made in a wide variety of shapes, that go
from traditional Mexican silver statues to figurines shaped as fruits, modern
art, and many other beautiful, original, contemporary or traditional shapes. It
is delightful to look at them and appreciate the artists' genius, essentially
present in each one of these silver art pieces. Some of these designs are so
exquisite that they have actually won prices in the International Silver Fair
Contest, which takes place in Taxco every year.
In any case, you are sure to be satisfied and happy with your choices if you
shop for Mexican silver art from Taxco, for sure!
Cristian Lavaque has lived half his life in the colonial town Taxco, Mexico,
also known as the Silver Capital of the world. He has worked with several
silver retail and wholesalers in Taxco and likes sharing what he's learned over
the years.
